Topic/Skill: Getting to know each other
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
At 9PM, I did a skype tutoring session with Dojun Kim, who works in the aviation industry in South Korea. Since it was our first meeting, we introduced to each other. The same as my experience while I was studying English in school, he basically learned everything but speaking when he was in school so his short term and long term goals are to speak English more fluently and improve his listening skills. His English was good, considering he is busy at work, he is not living in an English speaking country. However, he always motivates himself to learn English, using podcasts and radio to practice his listening, because he wants to talk to foreign people with no difficulties at work, and he also wants travel overseas. As we learned in class, self-motivation really is the key to learn a foreign language. During this meeting, he wanted to focus on learning some idioms, which is what he and I are going to do next time.
